Summary
Williams is purely a stretch-four at this stage of his career, as the vast majority of his field goal attempts come from behind the three-point line. If Williams can continue to hit shots at an above-average rate, he should be able to stay in an NBA rotation as he ages into his mid-thirties.
Williams is an intelligent enough player that he can make up for a lack of athleticism on defense with solid positional awareness. Plenty of teams will have interest in Williams this offseason as a free agent, and it doesn't hurt that he is a great teammate and locker room presence.
​
Cap Considerations
Williams will be an unrestricted free agent with a $1.6 million cap hold and Non-Bird Rights. This means that the highest starting salary the Bucks could offer him using the Non-Bird Exception is $3.1 million. This could be enough to retain Williams, since he settled for the minimum to come to Milwaukee after being bought out by Charlotte. Alternatively, the Bucks could use their Mid-Level Exception or Bi-Annual Exception to re-sign Noah if he demands more than $3.1 million.
Other teams will have multiple ways to sign Williams as even teams without cap space could possibly use any of the Non-Taxpayer, Taxpayer, or Room Mid-Level Exceptions to sign him. There's even a chance Williams settles for the minimum this offseason, especially if it's with a contender.
Potential Teams: Spurs, Pacers, Suns, Trailblazers, Bucks
Predicted Contract: 2-year, $11 million with the Spurs
Actual Contract: Williams chose to retire following the '19-'20 season.
